-------------------- Sponsored Links -------------------- If you are one of those who lives in an area that is not very garden friendly, you may want to consider a geodesic dome solar greenhouse.

This structure is built using durable light materials and the design also makes it very strong resistant to strong winds. Some pests such as aphids can also make their way into your dome. The easiest way to build one is using a kit, that includes everything that you need for installation. The kit is not cheap though going for about $5,600 US. ---------------------- Sponsored Links ----------------------
Surfing The Apocalypse Network - ON POCKET ROCKETS, ROCKET STOVES, AND 'THE PROJECT'
By lilpony2all , Friday, February 22, 2013, 16:11 @ pravdaseeker Hi, folks, am super-happy to be able to contribute something to the discussion!

Pravda, the little rocket stove you posted about I learned about as something called a "pocket rocket" and there are a LOT of how-to's and slightly different types you can make and take along, if you do a search on the above term. Definitely a survival necessity, IMHO. Learned about "rocket stove AKA rocket mass heater" through attending a weekend workshop building one (well, starting the build, anyway) from Ernie and Erica, the gal and guy-behind-the-camera on your first video, Gnosine.

FARM SHOW - She Uses Compost To Heat Her Greenhouse. FARM SHOW Magazine » She Uses Compost To Heat Her Greenhouse She Uses Compost To Heat Her Greenhouse Why burn propane or fuel oil to heat a greenhouse if you can get the heat for free?

Herb grower Katherine Brooks heats a 12 by 16-ft. greenhouse at virtually no cost using a compost pile. "The entire system cost less than using propane," says Brooks. After 30 years of composting, Brooks knew an active pile produces plenty of heat. At one end of the greenhouse, she built a 5-ft. dia. compost pile using a wire mesh frame reinforced with steel pipes. "The hose is installed in a zigzag pattern within the tables," says Brooks.

After water has been pumped through the tables, it returns to the reservoir to be reheated and recirculated.

How to build a Geo-Solar Greenhouse. Imagine if you could trap the energy of the sun and store it, in a bank, for future use when you needed it in the winter?

That’s the principle of Annualized Geo-Solar. A fancy name, but a clever way of storing the heat in the ground and using it to warm your greenhouse when its needed in the cold winter months. In the video Geoff Lawton visits a massive community glasshouse in the mountains of Invermere, British Columbia in Canada where they are using this method to keep their glasshouse warm over winter. A massive slotted steel pipe suspended high in the ceiling would trap the summers heat and through a connected series of smaller pipes buried deep within the concrete floor, an inexpensive fan would suck the heat down and store it beneath the glasshouse on a regulated temperature timer system.

You need to trap the heat and keep it down there with a barrier of insulation. The amazing thing is how long it takes to dissipate once the heat of Summer has ended.
